Abstract

Learning protocols are computational descriptions of collaborative learning policies (strategies). They can help geographically distributed people to overcome the difficulty of coordination by guiding and controlling social interactions in virtual learning environments. To perform a certain collaborative learning activity, a number of strategies can be used to achieve the same goal. However, no one strategy can be effective in all situations, because learning groups are different in group size and group structure, and group members vary in knowledge, skills, interests, learning style, and so on. Furthermore, in learning processes the situation changes over time. Learning groups may want to shift from the currently used strategy to another strategy to fit some changes. In this paper, a rule-based method to switch learning protocols is proposed. This method is implemented and demonstrated in our virtual learning environment CROCODILE.
